I've found this to be the most effective way to keep business from personal. Much more productive than having to manage several accounts, IMHO.

Sebkinne, Darren, et al: Really enjoying these improvements. Thanks a million for making this possible.

Yessir. I've gone ahead and added the additional parameters. Thanks a bunch for all of your help!

UPDATE: After looking over the options, I decided to take a bit from your initial config. Instead of the above, I went with this: ssh -i /etc/dropbear/id_rsa -R 1471:localhost:1471 root@ip.of.vps.server Then, I went onto my laptop and ran: ssh root@ip.of.vps.server -D 8080 I set up my browser to work via proxy on 127.0.0.1:8080, after entering http://localhost:1471 into my browser, I now see the Pineapple GUI. I went ahead and saved the autossh config and can enjoy a stable connection remotely.

Okay, so this: ssh root@ip.of.vps -i /etc/dropbear/id_rsa Allows me to login with no issues. I've done this straight from the Pineapple's command line. However, root@Pineapple:~# ssh root@ip.of.vps.server -i /etc/dropbear/id_rsa -N -T -R 4567 :localhost:1471 Warning: Identity file /etc/dropbear/id_rsa not accessible: No such file or dire ctory. Warning: remote port forwarding failed for listen port 4567 When I try the /etc/config/autossh version, which puts the options before the login, it just hangs. In either instance, AutoSSH shows connected and there's a connection established in Netstat. I think I've figured it out...

Thank you for your reply. Here's the info requested. /etc/config/autossh: root@Pineapple:~# cat /etc/config/autossh config autossh option gatetime '0' option monitorport '20000' option poll '600' option ssh '-i /etc/dropbear/id_rsa -N -T -R 4567:localhost:1471 root@ ip.of.vps' Shell from pineapple: root@Pineapple:~# ssh -i /etc/ssh/id/dropbear/id_rsa root@ip.of.vps Warning: Identity file /etc/ssh/id/dropbear/id_rsa not accessible: No such file or directory. Last login: Mon Jun 2 10:02:40 2014 root@sshrelay:~$ Hopefully this exposes something obvious that I'm missing. What really strikes me is that it's worked before in the past. Flawlessly. I'm trying to think of something that might have changed, but all I did to the Pineapple was update to the latest firmware and my VPS has not been altered in any way. I'm going to try your configuration and see what I can get in return from the server. Thanks for your help! EDIT: I've noticed the configuration file has the wrong path to private key. I've amended it, but still no luck.

Following Chris Haralson's absolutely awesome tutorial on configuring AutoSSH to access your pineapple remotely, I had no issues with setting up a sweet relay on my VPS. However, once I came back to the pineapple after a month of inactivity, I noticed I could no longer access the Pineapple interface remotely. Port 4567, Listen port 1471, and proper of root@ip.of.vps were verified, but going to ip.of.vps:4567 returned unavailable. AutoSSH shows "connected" on the Pineapple GUI. Both the VPS and Pineapple have been rebooted several times, thinking SSH on the VPS just wasn't responding properly. I figured it was an issue with my VPS, so I deleted the droplet (using DigitalOcean) and created a new one from scratch. I followed all of the procedures outlined, but I get the same results. Next, I ensured that my VPS was live. It responds to ping requests. Second, I verified the key added to authorized_keys on the server was correct. This was done by initiating an ssh tunnel from the pineapple command line and not being prompted for password and by checking the authorized_keys file itself. Both appear okay. I figured maybe it was network settings at that point, so after logging into my VPS from a different computer outside of my local network, I ran: netstat | grep ip.address.of.pineapple and see this: tcp 0 48 ip.address.of.vps:ssh ip-of-pineapple.cli:58888 ESTABLISHED I've checked the log files and don't see anything paranormal. Figuring perhaps DigitalOcean was unhappy about the relay, I submitted a ticket. Their reply was that nothing should be prohibiting the relay. So, back to square one. It should be mentioned I've taken the actual internet connection to the Pineapple into consideration; using my android, iPhone, local network, and a friend's internet (all different networks) to no avail. Is there something I'm missing here? Thanks in advance

Hmm, so it's accessing the internet just fine. It appears when you're actually initiating the download, it's just hanging at 0%. Which storage method are you choosing?

I am able to view available infusions as well as install them.

locks180, For the most part, logs are kept which can be retrieved at a later time. However, you could also remotely monitor the pineapple via ssh tunnel. My pineapple is currently deployed in an undisclosed location about 20 minutes drive from my home (been there for almost 12 hours now). It's tethered to my prepaid Android and is set to automatically connect to my ssh server upon boot, allowing me to monitor the pineapple via web interface and make any needed changes or retrieve logs. See, I can't really do that with a full desktop or laptop computer, at least not as unattended. This thing fits in the palm of my hand and looks totally badass in an attache case. I'm not even using it to it's full potential, either. I have no complaints. It does what I want it to do. If you have any issues after purchasing, you can rest assured you'll get the help you need. I've seen some exemplary customer service as well as community assistance in any matters. It's been tremendously reassuring.

Now I'm even more anxious! hahaha. This is going to rock...

Good deal! Yeah, I'll see what I can figure out with the battery. Might just be better to wait until Spring before I launch a rooftop Pineapple. At any rate, thank you for following up with me so quickly and clarifying. :)

Greetings, I've recently ordered the Mark V and am anxiously awaiting it's delivery! In the meantime, I've been sketching out different ideas; some of which require the pineapple to be exposed to negative digit temperatures over a prolonged duration. While I've searched the hakshop's product page for the pineapple, I've not found anything to indicate a safe temp. This is more a question of curiosity than anything else. As a matter of fact, I'm totally down with just insulating a pelican case with hand warmers if need be or waiting until summer for the technofun. My first notion would be that any electronic device exposed to -30F windchill over 8 hours will not be happy, especially the battery. Any thoughts or further clarification? Thanks ;)

Big fan of Darren, Snubs, and all of the folks who put passion at the forefront to bring us what we have today. Thank you!
